President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his government will not spare
any member of the opposition of his own party, the All Progressives
Congress who is found culpable of corruption.
The President, who is on a four-day visit to the United States President, Barack Obama, said this during an interview with the CNN anchor, Christiane Amanpour, that the release of the Chibok girls is top on the agenda of his government.
“Our main objective as a government is to secure the release of those girls safe and sound, back to their schools and rehabilitate them to go back to their normal lives. So, if we are convinced the girls would be delivered safe and sound, we will negotiate.”
The President also said would send a formal invitation to the US President to visit Nigeria.
“I wouldn’t say I was disappointed that President Obama did not choose to visit Nigeria but I wish that he would change his mind and come to Nigeria. Well, I asked him to come and would send a formal invitation,” he said.
On whether or not his administration would negotiate with the Boko Haram sect, Buhari said, “I cannot be against it. I told you that our main objective as a government is to secure those girls safe and sound back to their schools and rehabilitate them to get back to normal life.
"So, if we are convinced that the leaders (of Boko Haram) can deliver those girls safe and sound, we wouldn’t fail to negotiate what they want.”
“If any of my associates or party member is indicted of corruption, they cannot escape justice. There is not going to be any APC member or any close personality found guilty that would escape justice,” he said.
